@noodlemaz "terrible bathroom experiences" sounds like a mid 2000s blog that would be very popular. I would subscribe in 2026 with my RSS reader, please make it happen!

@shom thanks! I got a lot of compliments on the skirt today. Not bad for a 5 euro skirt I picked up at a thrift store

This is an all-gender bathroom, so I guess they care a lot about the stalls being private

️@shom oh yes I’m getting a lot of milage out of that skirt. It’s compact enough that it is easy to transport to wherever I’m going dancing, and it pairs well with my favourite dancing Tees. Under it, I wear safety short with pockets for my phone and ID, so it’s very convenient for public events like the one I went to on Saturday.

Went to a Valentine’s Day themed lindy hop social today. Had tried to match my face mask with my outfit, and above by the theme.
Some person: it must be so uncomfortable to wear a mask like that.
Me: I prefer this over getting sick.
Person : of course! You do you! Don’t worry, you don’t need to be ashamed of that!C’mon. Do I look like I’m ashamed of masking?
Forgive the very sweaty bathroom selfie. It was a nice party and the band was excellent!
Also, last week after dance class;
Person: am I correct in assuming that you mask to protect others?
Me: I’m masking to protect myself.
Them: given that it’s more effective if you mask to protect others than if you mask to protect yourself, isn’t that kinda pointless?
Me: given that all of you are constantly panting in each other’s faces anyway, wouldn’t masking to protect you all be even more pointless? -

@lipow one of my favourite excuses for never masking: "I don't have to be careful because I don't know any old people"

@anna "and you never will, you never will, and that includes your own future self ..."
It is really so sad to see how risk and health communication has failed at this ... -

@anna dancing tees and safety shorts, you live a whimsical and full life!
